  • Mood and Stock Returns the Effect of Weather Conditions and Biorhythm on the Dutch Stock Market
    Mood and Stock Returns The effect of weather conditions and biorhythm on the Dutch stock market Juline Nijhout 354646 Supervisor: Prof. Han Bleichrodt Erasmus School of Economics Erasmus University, Rotterdam This thesis is submitted for the Master of Science in Behavioural Economics November 2016 Abstract This master thesis investigates the influence of mood classified as investor sentiment in financial markets on Dutch stock market returns. The Dutch weather and biorhythm are used as mood-proxy variables to measure its influence on the large-cap AEX Index and the small-cap AScX Index between 2005 and 2016. The statistical significance is evaluated using Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis with Newey-West standard errors and Least Absolute Deviations. The results do not violate the efficient market hypothesis for large-cap stocks in the Netherlands. Significant effects are found for Seasonal Affective Disorder and temperature on small-cap stocks, but these regression coefficients are smaller than 0.0005. Preface This master thesis is the final project of my master in Behavioural Economics at the Erasmus School of Economics in Rotterdam. By writing this thesis I developed a more thorough understanding of statistics and conducting research. Also, this has been a great opportunity to combine the knowledge of behavioural economics and finance I gained during the past year. In the existing literature, different events have been examined that are associated with investor mood. I chose the weather and biorhythm, since all investors are exposed to these conditions. I enjoyed writing this thesis, especially because the results could have major practical implications. I would like to thank dr.

  • Philips Lighting (Euronext Amsterdam Ticker: LIGHT)
    Philips Lighting (Euronext Amsterdam ticker: LIGHT) - a global leader in lighting products, systems and services - delivers innovations that unlock business value; providing rich user experiences that help improve lives. Serving professional and consumer markets alike, Philips leads the lighting industry in leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to transform homes, buildings and urban spaces. With 2015 sales of EUR 7.5 billion, Philips has approximately 36,000 employees in over 70 countries. Through the application of multiple tools and techniques within the Project Management (IPECC, PDCA), Lean, and Six Sigma methodologies within its ‘End-to-End Outdoor Made-to-Order’ (Outdoor MTO) project initiative, Philips Lighting achieved the following advances over 18 months: Consistent delivery reliability exceeding 96% (up from 75%) Committed 4-week customer lead-times increased from 1% to 42% of Outdoor portfolio Agent NPS scores improved from -56 to +4 Improvements replicated across over 50% of the Outdoor North America portfolio, impacting a projected $125m+ of annual revenue coverage Strategic Objectives and Scope Starting in 2013, Philips Lighting experienced a decline in market share year-over-year with a cumulative 15% revenue decline in the North America Outdoor Professional Channel, amidst an 11% growth trend in the market at large. In addition, external sales agent Net Promoter Scores (NPS) were extremely poor, indicating three deficiencies in the eyes of the customer: uncompetitive product lead-times, unreliable service, and poor communication. To reverse the negative trend, Philips Lighting launched the first Site phase of the End-to-End (“E2E”) Outdoor Made-to- Order (“Outdoor MTO”) transformation. With executive sponsorship aligned, a Project Management Office (“PMO”) was formed.

  • Event Study Analysis
    Event study analysis “The relationship between elections and stock market returns” Abstract This master thesis research investigates the timing of election-induced events on the European financial stock markets. Positive stock market returns in periods with an election-induced event are found. Stock market returns are positively (less negatively) affected in periods ending with an election- induced event compared to the entire event-window. Furthermore, election-induced stock market returns on the European financial markets are positively correlated with the national stock market. Positive (negative) stock market returns following the election outcome on the national index will positively (negatively) affect the European stock returns. Moreover, we find that stock market returns are positively correlated with shifts in sentiment. Favourable (unfavourable) political news is positively (negatively) affecting stock market returns. Lastly, a negative relationship is found between economic performance and stock market returns during election periods. The abnormal stock market returns are positively (negatively) affected by elections before (after) the financial crisis. These results are in line with Pantzalis et al. (2000), Brown et al. (1998), Hibbs (1977), Lee et al. (2002) and Chan et al. (1996). Keywords: Political elections, Stock market return, Financial Crisis, Europe.
